About Nomakhwezi Becker

Nomakhwezi Becker is a London based, South African–German interdisciplinary performer, writer, and facilitator, creating through theatre, poetry, and storytelling. Her artistic practice explores themes of collaborative distant intimacy, the search for home, and the intersection of multiple heritages and languages. Raised in diverse cultural spaces, she aims to embrace the in-between as a place of belonging.

Central to her work is Call and Response, a storytelling technique rooted in South African traditions. This method serves not only as a tool for imaginative world-building but also as a foundation for collaboration, attentiveness, and reciprocal exchange. I apply these principles across all my creative projects, from theatre productions to poetry performances, workshops, and teaching.

More About Nomakhwezi Becker

Becker’s work resonates across disciplines - her theatre pieces are often born from poems, and stories emerge from songs. Shw create in an English influenced by Zulu, Xhosa, and German, allowing these languages to expand my creative expression when English alone doesn’t suffice. The rhythm of Xhosa inspires the reinterpretation of German songs, blending her diverse lineages into a singular, evolving voice.

Becker obtained her MA in Performance Making, an interdisciplinary practice-based research course at Goldsmiths University of London in 2023. Notable works include When Coasts Meet (2019), an Ovation Fringe-Award-winning theatre production, and Waiting for Lift Off (2024), published by the University of Johannesburg. Becker’s poetry has led her to platforms such as Poetry Africa (RSA), Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (US), Translationale Berlin (DE), and Southbank Centre (UK). She is a 2023/24 and 2024/25 Barbican Young Poet and a Camden Starting Blocks grant recipient for her newest solo piece, Holding Ground (2024)..
